    Looking at the impressions on the ground, it seems like your life is like a Warner Brothers’ cartoon.

    What would we watch on TV? Who’d have time to watch?

    I would have loved to see this become a series. I’m sure the idea was proposed to Watterson

    Love the shapes of the holes. One is for Hobbes and the other is for Calvin.

    You are right Calvin – after flying high in the 80’s and 90’s we somehow crash-landed here and now….. sigh!

    I’d like to live in a soap opera, where everyone constantly eats in the best restaurants and cafes, and no one ever has to pay. They just get up and walk out. And in their cities, there’s never any problem finding parking.

    Well….there is the movie “Pleasantville” where life was perfect until the “real world” characters turned it topsy-turvy.

    If this was currentTV, Calvin would have to find a way to include the super meds in his list.

    It’s pretty amazing that Calvin’s hair is stiff enough to leave an impression in solid earth.

    “All of life’s problems should be solved in 30 minutes.” As opposed to a comic strip where they can take a couple weeks!

    TV shows that took place in New York, e.g. “Blue Bloods”, “White Collar”…where there is always an open place to park at the curb. and the cops (or FBI) always catch the perp. “Lost in Space” is more realistic. But I like cop shows anyway. Oh, and SiFi too. Faster-than-light travel. About on par with open parking spaces in NY.

    In AF survival school, I spent some time as a student POW. Compared to the real thing, it’s like Club Med, but at least it gave us an idea of what to expect should we be captured and remove some of the “shock and awe” from the experience.

    So I had time as I sat there in solitary confinement suffering hallucinations due to sleep deprivation to ponder what was really important in life and came up with five priorities that I present in no particular order: life itself, health, freedom, family and faith.

    These are the only things worth living for, they are the only things worth fighting for, they are the only things worth dying for. Anyone who would deny these to others in my enemy.

    Notably not on the list is bank account, job title, prestige, fame, popularity, the kind of car I drive or anything that can be reckoned as a physical quantity.

    I’m not exactly living in sackcloth and ashes, but sticking to these five principles has made life a lot simpler and a lot less stressful. I would not changes places with anyone else on the planet.

    Alas the thirty-minute resolution is gone. Writers have gone mad with their story arcs. Look at Game of Thrones.

    What? What? Will the car in the ditch be found this week? Are Calvin and Hobbes in comas after mom and dad got finished with them (one can hope, can’t one)?

    There was a spoof trailer for a C&H movie that was circulating a while back. When I first saw it, I didn’t realise that it WAS a spoof and thought that I would love to see it. With the latest rounds of live action animated remakes (Jungle Book, The Lion King, Aladdin) someone could make a live action C&H. Of course, one would have to get the blessing from Mr Watterson first.

    High paying jobs and fancy cars for everyone, all our desires gratified.Women wearing tight clothing and men carrying high powered weapons.In Calvin’s world, conservatives and liberals peacefully coexist.

    Trying to live in a world of instant gratification, the world of the quick fix, creates many of mankind’s problems.

    That’s philosophy on the go! None can match Calvin in summarising life.
